Ancient Chinese Bronze

Chinese Bronze Ding

Ding is one of the most common bronze vessels. Ding started as a cooking device, and then became a status symbol, especially for burial. A King can have nine Dings in his tomb. Most Bronze Dings are three-legged, except some of the older Dings are square and have four legs. You can still see Chinese bronze dings in temples as a container for incense burning.

Chinese Bronze Jue

The jue vessels are used for drinking as a modern day pint glass. Jue stands on three legs and fire can be placed under the legs for heating. Two short stubs on top of jue are called Zhu.

Chinese bronze zun

Zun is a common wine vessel that has the most creative shapes. The ordinary ones shapes like a vase with a big belly to store wine. You can also find Zuns in animal shapes such as sheep, elephant, and rhinoceroses.
